23 Best Sushi Bars in Greenville

“Love this place! We came tonight to celebrate both my & my husband's birthday.“

“Amazing food always! The staff is always 100%! This is our favorite sushi spot!“

“Love the bluefin! This is a must try for Greenvilles restaurant scene“

“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎“

“Favorite restaurant.. Need I say more??“

“Great sushi, excellent service , love the place !“

“I dont eat sushi. But my fiancé does. Their sushi selection is insane. And she said it was incredible. We also got pork gyoza (best ive had) crab wonton (incredible) and spring rolls (also some of the best ive had) she got a drink and it was good. Finished it off with some sake. Highly recommend if you're in DT Greenville and want sushi. Also have plenty of non seafood options like hibachi etc if you're like me“

“To Go Order (Door Dashed) I usually don’t leave reviews but I have to say, I throughly enjoyed every single bite of sushi tonight. I ordered two rolls, the Crazy California Roll and the Black Tiger Roll. It looked amazing and the price was very reasonable. I most definitely recommend.“

“This is my third visit and it’s always a blast. The waiter is super attentive. I’ve always sat at the bar, but I see the host quickly seat guests in booths. Everything is clean. David, who does the sushi prep is cheerful and always sings to the music… You can tell he loves his job, as does the waiter. Tonight either the manager or the owner came out and said hello and did a little chitchat too. The food is always well-prepared and served quickly. I will definitely return.“

“The sushi is absolutely delicious 🤤 we always have a wonderful time.“

“Come eat here!!!“

“Excellent food and service. Love the snow crab salad and monster roll the best!“

“I came across this restaurant while getting ready to head home (I don't live in the Greenville area) and I stopped in to pick up a quick bite to eat while on my way. I'm so glad I did! 😊

The service was out of this world and the staff was so friendly! I wish I'd had time for a sit-down meal but I'll be sure to make time during my next visit. Looking forward to trying more of their menu and seeing what's up with some of those sushi selections. 😁

I wish them well and hope they continue to prosper!“

“Absolutely one of the best meals we had during our trip. The presentation was top notch, staff friendly and the food exceptional. Highly recommend!!“

“New to the area. We very much enjoyed the food and sake with friends. we will be back!“

“They served me and my friends this weekend during southeast game exchange. I used to love joy of Tokyo when I frequently visited Greenville while dating my now wife. It's safe to say this place is still amazing. I had the teriyaki chicken and steak.“

“Outstanding ramen, sushi and other goodies. The pork buns are tasty and the takoyaki was superb.“

“My son randomly picked Chef 21 off a search. We had the Korean BBQ lunch special. Plenty of food and it was all delicious. We are planning another visit because we want to try the sushi.“

“Great food, big portions, variety of flavors.“

“First time having actual traditional ramen and it was amazing! Great sushi menu, friendly service and very tasty food!“

“Great Food! Perfect for Family size orders and Specials“

“My family and I just happened to wander into the front doors of this wonderful place and we were extremely pleased with prompt, friendly service, relatively affordable pricing (especially considering the area), and exceptionally fresh and wonderful food. The atmosphere was very upscale, but being casually dressed in blue jeans and t-shirts, we still felt very comfortable and welcome. I had the Hibachi Chicken Plate, and she had the Steak Hibachi. We split our Sushi: the “IBM Roll” and “BMW Roll” and words cannot describe how fresh and delectable everything tasted. We were astounded at the quality of food, the speed of service, the friendliness of service and it was like the cook was professionally-trained. Very nice place, if “taste” is what leads you to somewhere new. We loved it and will be back.“
